Chapter 100 Wang Dan's Case

"What do you think I should do?"

The conversation room was silent.

No one answered Wang Dan's question.

I can't answer that either.

It is impossible to empathize without personal experience.

Wang Dan continued, "Achen found out about my situation and organized a junior high school reunion just to meet me. I hesitated but still went. He said he could help me, and then he called Hu Fen right in front of me. Within ten minutes, Hu Fen called back and said the matter was settled.

Do you know how I felt at that moment? More than a decade of hard study was not worth a phone call. How should I react? Should I remain silent? I can't do that. It's society that has failed me, and the Party that has failed me.

"What does the faith I hold on to mean? What does the passion of a young man full of ambition mean in the face of absolute power? It's nothing."

"I also wanted to experience power. I struggled in the political arena for more than a decade and finally achieved some status. But Hu Fen happened to invite a beneficiary, Wang, to her home for the Spring Festival, and she caught me and Achen in the act."

"My relationship with Ah Chen was not tolerated at that time. Others would think we were sick and immoral, so we were afraid of being discovered."

"Wang's lover, Xu Zhiqiang, is naturally no good either. He abuses his wife. The most important thing is that when I accidentally killed Wang, Xu Zhiqiang was driving an unlicensed motorcycle during the Spring Festival, hitting and killing someone and then fleeing the scene. I came up with this idea: let him take the blame and give him some money. Xu Zhiqiang will know what's more important."

Wang Dan's voice was dry and hoarse. He said, "Please pour me a glass of water."

Secretary Chen turned around and went outside to get a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

Wang Dan drank most of the drink from the paper cup.

He measured it with his fingers against the wall of the paper cup.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the half remaining cup of clear warm water, his thoughts drifting away.

"Later, I was transferred to Jiangcheng. I enjoyed the benefits of power, but it also brought me oppression. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush someone. I was arranged into a marriage of destiny. I had no choice but to accept it, unable to resist."

"Power is a really good thing. Ah Chen has advised me against it more than once, but I was blinded by the temptation and vanity that power brought. I enjoyed the fawning and flattery of those below me, and it felt great to trample on them.

But I often contradict myself, and most of the time I'm unhappy. I attribute this to my lack of power. Until last year, a wealthy family wanted to use my connections to get a position for their son. I said there was no vacancy, and he suggested finding someone else to take it.

"At that moment, I knew the reason for my unhappiness. Although I was firmly ensconced in the position of city secretary, I couldn't change my upbringing. The scenes of those days were vivid in my mind. But now the relationship was reversed. I had become the one who could change and influence other people's lives with a single word. My words could destroy a young man as passionate as I was back then, or even a civil servant who had been nurtured with the whole family's efforts."

"Life is so dramatic. No matter how Ah Chen tried to persuade me before, it was useless. But after that incident, I suddenly realized my mistake. So I started to plan everything last year. Unfortunately, my ability is limited and I couldn't move Da Shu. Everything has become a foregone conclusion."

"All of this is the result of fate." Wang Dan sighed helplessly.

After Wang Dan finished speaking, the conversation fell into silence for a long time.

The atmosphere is slightly melancholy.

Regarding Wang Dan’s experience.

Shen Tinglan is not qualified to comment.

He should be angry about what happened to Wang Dan in the early days.

It is precisely because of this cause that such a result is produced.

If she had experienced everything that Wang Dan had experienced.

To be honest, she might have fallen right there and stayed there.

It is not easy for Wang Dan to rise to the position of Secretary-General of 1S in one go.

It's not really her compliment.

If Wang Dan could resist the temptation, be more determined and use his energy in the right way.

I believe that he will be able to hold great power in time.

But there are no ifs.

No one is above power.

You try to play with power, but you don't realize that you are already in the palm of power's hand.

well.

Shen Tinglan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He turned his head to peek at Lin Zhizhou secretly.

The big leader looked stern, upright and strict, sitting upright like a pine tree.

His whole body exudes an oppressive aura that looks down on everyone, his eyes are wise and frank, and his deep and clear black pupils are filled with integrity and justice.

An official should be like him.

at this time.

Lin Zhizhou spoke, breaking the silence. "So you initially pulled the Yunjing Hotel out. Zhang was your man, so you had a way out. But you didn't expect Zhang to be subverted. So you gave Xu Zhiqiang peanut powder to speed up the case. First, to prevent the remaining funds from being transferred out, and second, Deputy Mayor Qiu was taken back to the Discipline Inspection Commission halfway, and you got impatient."

Wang Dan smiled and replied, "Team Leader Lin is indeed a meticulous thinker. I've been in the political arena for many years and naturally trust no one. I have a backup of the account list from which Zhang transferred the money. I only have one request: I hope for a lighter sentence for Ah Chen."

Lin Zhizhou sneered: "Do you think that list is still useful now? Since you were exposed, that person must have cut off all the clues. That list can only be used to investigate all the useless chess pieces in Jiangcheng."

"Team Leader Lin, I admire you very much. It's true. I've tried to send money up there many times, and each time it was a different person. There was no fixed person, and I never had any evidence to hold against him. He's a thousand-year-old fox."

Lin Zhizhou continued to ask: "Hu Fen's successor is Xu Ran?"

Wang Dan laughed heartily and clapped his hands. "Team Leader Lin, you actually found out about Xu Ran and Hu Fen's secret relationship. Back then, out of a sense of guilt, I knew Xu Zhiqiang had a daughter living with her aunt, so I passed her information to Hu Fen. I didn't expect Xu Ran, despite her young age, to be so scheming."

Lin Zhizhou's face was calm and his voice was deep: "The amount of money in the Yunjing Hotel is not the amount we found during the search. That amount has not been transferred out yet. So how much has been transferred out?"

Wang Dan calmly spread out his five fingers.

Everyone in the conversation room was stunned by the palm of his hand.

That's a really bold idea.

As expected, the poorer the city, the more corrupt officials it has.

Lin Zhizhou spoke again: "The money must still be in Jiangcheng. During such a sensitive period, that person is notoriously cautious and would not accept it at this time. The ones responsible for the funds should be Xu Ran and Zhang. Zhang was arrested, and the clue is Xu Ran."

With Xu Ran's intelligence, he must have known that he was useless, but who wouldn't be tempted by such a huge sum of money?

If you don't catch it from above, it will feel like a hot potato in your hand.

They must be finding ways to launder money.

So from the moment he entered Jiangcheng, Xu Ran's appearance was very clever, and there was also the sneak shots he noticed in the past few days.

He must be trying to stir up trouble with his relationship with the young woman.

That's perfect.

Seize the opportunity.

Wang Dan replied: "Don't underestimate Xu Ran. Judging from the list, she has no involvement except in recovering the funds. However, I happened to know about it and saw her with You Er."

"You Er?" Lin Zhizhou asked.

Yang Guicheng, who was sitting next to him, interrupted: "You Er, he has a perverse temper. I heard that he has to give face to both the black and white sides. His father is You Jun, the secretary of Long County."

Lin Zhizhou nodded.

I silently thought of You Jun, You Er——

Wang Dan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "I remember the current Secretary-General of the Four S is Xu Mo."

"Xu Mo?"

Yang Guicheng replied: "Secretary Xu's son."

Lin Zhizhou understood Wang Dan's meaning: "Without enough chips to impress people, there is no way to form an alliance."

Wang Dan remained silent, tacitly agreeing with this statement.

Then Lin Zhizhou said calmly: "Secretary Wang, I deeply sympathize with your previous experience. Because of your experience, I think the civil servant files of Jiangcheng need to be re-examined, as well as the series of issues related to receiving public salaries under empty names."

After a pause, Lin Zhizhou thought about it and added a few words.

"If you truly loved him, how could you bear to drag him into this vortex and put him in danger? You said same-sex love is immoral. Have you ever considered that this is just your own thinking? If you had a strong and kind heart, perhaps the outcome would be very different."

"Moreover, currently, national laws do not explicitly stipulate that public officials cannot have romantic relationships."

"Sincerity is so rare, why bother about gender?"

The voice is slow and powerful.

Wang Dan's face suddenly turned pale.

The paper cup in his hand was deformed and twisted, and half of the water in the cup flowed out due to the pressure.

The person sitting upright covered his face and cried.

turn out to be.

He was wrong from the start.

One wrong step leads to all wrong.

He finally begged: "Team Leader Lin, can I see him?"

Lin Zhizhou instructed the law enforcement officers: "Take Deputy Mayor Qiu along for a walk along the corridor."

Wang Dan understood.

He brushed his face and hair with the wet water stains on the table, and reached out to straighten his clothes.

Shen Tinglan probably knew what Secretary Wang did.

Dress properly to meet your beloved.
